I could not resist it. It is a classic (rebuff).

I think that in English, emoticons are not a bad idea*. As English can 
be quite ambiguous.
Warp seldom used them and I was always misunderstanding his meaning. :-(

For instance. Replying "interesting". Does not mean "It is interesting" 
but "Not worth perusing, it is not a good idea".
